Congratulations Wilson and Jennifer


This wedding reception took place at Wyndehaven Terrace in Northwest Houston. We love working here because the owners are great and the rooms are beautiful. The colors for the wedding were persimmon (a pretty coral/orange color), champagne, and gold. The tables had white cloths with champagne overlays, and the chairs had white covers with gold ties. The centerpieces alternated between high flowers with candles, and low bud vases with roses. All of them were surrounded by votive candles.

Jennifer was stunning in her long, off-white gown. It was strapless, with beading on the bodice and skirt, and a gorgeous bustle in the back. The skirt had a few long ‘layers’ of lacey looking beading and just sparkled. She wore a pretty veil in her up-do to complete the look. Jennifer carried a beautiful bouquet of roses, hydrangea, and other white flowers, all with crystal accents. Her Bridesmaids wore persimmon colored dresses, and carried bright bouquets of persimmon, orange, fuchsia, and green flowers. Wilson wore a black tux, white vest and tie, all accented by a white boutonniere. His Groomsmen wore the same tux but with black vests and ties, and persimmon colored boutonnieres.

After their entrance and first dance, it was time for dinner. During dinner, they had three different friends come up and sing, one accompanied by her dad playing the guitar, and they were all really good! Then, came the Father/Daughter dance, the Mother/Son dance, and a Grandparents dance. At that point, Wilson changed into a traditional Filipino barong and Jennifer changed into a knee-length champagne colored dress, so they could party!

After a bit of dancing, it was time for the toasts and cake cutting. Jennifer’s cake was so pretty: it had three stacked white layers, with a persimmon band around the bottom of each. The front of the cake had a cherry blossom design with edible gumpaste flowers. Wilson’s cake was cool: it was a football shape, with the Texan’s logo on the front. Then, it was bouquet and garter time. Jennifer gave us all a dance as she got ready to toss the bouquet: she is so funny! Then, Wilson gave Jennifer a dance as he got ready to remove her garter. What a perfect couple! LOL And, oddly enough, it turns out that the bouquet catcher and the garter catcher are a couple. Hmmm…. Are those future wedding bells I hear?

With the formalities done, it was party time until the end. This crowd danced to all types of music from Ballroom waltzes Oldies to Hip Hop to Pop to Country and everything in between. It really was funny when Jennifer got on the mic and sang/rapped to “California Gurls” by Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg. The night came to an end and Wilson and Jennifer ran through a shower of bubbles to their new life together. Congratulations and enjoy your honeymoon cruise!
